Study Notes
Module 13
- Main product of the metabolic cycle is citric acid alongside carbon dioxide (CO₂).
- Peroxisomes contain a dense crystalline core rich in oxidative enzymes essential for various metabolic functions.
- Endomembrane system excludes mitochondria and peroxisomes, indicating their distinct roles within the cell.
- Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the microsomes, ensuring proper protein assembly.
- Cytochrome C plays a critical role in initiating the apoptosis cascade, a vital process in programmed cell death.
- The intermediate space of mitochondria is largely impermeable owing to a protein gradient, which is essential for ATP synthesis.
- Peroxisomes are integral in the synthesis of bile acids and phospholipids, crucial for lipid metabolism.
- The inner mitochondrial membrane is structured into cristae, facilitating electron transport during cellular respiration.
Module 14
- N-linked glycosylation occurs in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), modifying proteins for functionality.
- Gated transport mechanisms operate between the cytosol and nucleus, regulating molecular traffic.
- Translocon is a key complex that facilitates the transfer of peptide chains during protein synthesis.
- Smooth ER is responsible for the synthesis of steroid hormones, highlighting its role in lipid metabolism.
- Glucosidases I and II trim glucose residues from glycoproteins and prevent misfolding through chaperone proteins (CNX and CRT).
Module 15
- The proteasome is crucial for degrading misfolded proteins that arise in the endoplasmic reticulum pathway.
- Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) functions in transmembrane signaling, though it is not a stress sensor.
- Phosphorylation of N-linked oligosaccharides forms mannose-6-phosphate, which is pivotal for lysosomal targeting of proteins.
- Sphingomyelin and glycolipid synthesis primarily occurs in the smooth ER, important for cellular membranes.
- Foldases such as CNX and CRT assist in binding to and refolding misfolded proteins to restore functionality.
- Amyloid proteins can aggregate into fibrous structures, leading to various misfolding-related diseases.
GDP and GTP Cycle
- Guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) prevents the anchorage of GDP-bound small proteins, regulating their activity.
- GTP hydrolysis takes place post-vesicle fusion, converting GTP into GDP, thus signaling regulatory changes.
- Guanine exchange factor (GEF) is responsible for exchanging GDP for GTP, thereby activating small GTPases.
- SOS functions as a GEF specifically for Ras signaling within the RAS-GTP pathway, a critical signaling route.
- Rab proteins are specialized GTPases that facilitate intracellular vesicle targeting and fusion.
- Rab-GDP is the inactive form that is returned to the cytoplasm after hydrolysis to GDP.
- Rab-GTP is the active state, essential for vesicle fusion processes.
- ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) is key in vesicle fusion with acceptor membranes, activated by GTP binding and inactivated through GDP hydrolysis.
Quiz 4 (Key Concepts Review)
- Topography refers to the layout, configuration, and positioning of cellular components, impacting cellular organization.
- Mitochondria do not engage in topographical arrangement during cell division; instead, they mix with cellular components.
- The ER lumen is continuous and interconnected with the nucleus, suggesting a close functional relationship.
- The presence of an N-terminus signal peptide determines protein localization within the ER during synthesis.
- Default protein pathway:
- Proteins synthesized in the nucleus remain in the cytosol.
- Proteins made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) are typically secreted from the cell.
- Mitochondria can release cytochrome C, a pro-apoptotic factor, during programmed cell death, underscoring their importance in apoptosis.
- Mitochondria possess circular, self-replicating, double-stranded mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), critical for their autonomous function and inheritance.
